So I was at my local Big 5 hoping to find a mosin with a hex receiver today, but no luck. What I did find was a Yugoslavian M24/47 on "sale" for $199. I'm not familiar with these rifles so I have no idea if this is a good price or not. What I do know is that the price of firearms has skyrocket, and even though I desperately want a "new" surplus rifle, I don't want to over spend. So can anyone tell me what good M24/47 should cost?

That is a little steep for that model, but they are starting to get scarcer.

So I finally caved and went to Big5 with money in hand only to find out that the only m24/47 in stock had been sold. Being the implosive buyer that I am I went to one of the local gun shops looking for something to buy. One way or another I was going home with a surplus rifle of some sort. That's when I found this, it's a Chinese Type 53. The stock is beat up bad but the bore is in near perfect shape. It didn't come with a sling or cleaning rod but fortunately I had one of each lying around.
